Biggest Cities in each Risk Territory

Can you name the five most populous urban areas for each territory in the board game Risk? Please read the quiz caveats!
Population data from citypopulation.de
The area for each territory was approximated from this map
I highly recommend checking the map as you do the quiz, because the names for some territories are very confusing
The Ruhr metro and Cologne-Düsseldorf have been ignored for the purposes of this quiz

Great quiz! A map version with hidden dots would be fun too.

Interesting quiz... though I missed several due to them being on landmasses that don't actually appear anywhere on the RISK board, yet you've assumed that they belong to some other territory.. such as Hispanola and Luzon.

My bad, I used a different map to create the quiz, and mistakenly linked the wrong one. Thank you for noticing, I have updated the link.

Consider accepting:

"Kamchatsky" for Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky

"Kitakyushu" for Fukuoka

For the Quebec region, the Gatineau part of the greater Ottawa region would be enough for it to qualify on the list right?

Therefore, maybe you should accept Ottawa/Gatineau in the Quebec region?

Done, I replaced St. John's (which shouldn't have been in the quiz to start, because Newfoundland isn't on the map I used as reference) so everything works out :)

In the Alberta Section Victoria should be there instead of Regina. Victoria’s urban area has 390-400K people. It’s the second biggest Urban area in British Columbia and the 5th or 6th biggest in all of Western Canada.

Also for New Guinea you’re missing the city of Sorong. It’s the capital of the Indonesian Side and it’s urban area has roughly 350K people

Victoria isn't on the quiz because Vancouver Island is missing form the map I used as reference (same thing happened to New Zealand, for example).

Sorong is listed as only having 118k people in the source I used (https://www.citypopulation.de/en/indonesia/cities/). No doubt the urban area is larger than 118k, but I have to stick to just one source :/

Hispaniola is also missing from the map, and yet you included Santo Domingo as part of Central America.

I'm not sure you checked the map I linked in the quiz caveats. Hispaniola is very much present in that one.

If ever there was a quiz that needed to be a map quiz!

Anyway, two obvious problems. I've looked at every Risk board I can find online, and the following is true for all of them:

Santo Domingo isn't depicted on the map. No Risk map has ever depicted Cuba, Hispaniola, Puerto Rico, nor any Caribbean island. It can't be assumed to be part of Central America if Vancouver Island can't be assumed to be part of Alberta and Newfoundland can't be assumed to be part of Quebec.

Halifax shouldn't be listed for Quebec. All Risk maps include Nova Scotia and New Brunswick in Eastern United States.

Also, Montevideo is controversial for Argentina. Older Risk maps include Uruguay in Brazil. It's in Argentina in the map in the thumbnail for this quiz.

I used this map (from Wikimedia Commons) as reference, because it was the only one I could find that used an actual map of the world, which makes it less confusing when determining which parts of the world fall under which territories. I would love to have a more accurate map (perhaps with more major islands included, to make the quiz spicier), but I don't have neither the time nor the artistry to do it myself.

It's a decent map, but you won't find those four Caribbean islands on any Risk boardgame.
